Seaching for controls in a cell template

[Nick]

Hello everybody.
I have a RadGridView  whith three column teo of whic are displayed and edited using cell templates with a radComboBox and a TextBox

The following is the XAML code

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="radGridDiscounts"  HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="150" Width ="500" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ShowGroupPanel="False" MultipleSelect="False" ColumnsWidthMode="Fill" ItemsSource=""> 
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
         <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Descrizione" HeaderTextAlignment="Center" Width="200"
             DataMemberBinding="{Binding Description}" IsReadOnly="True" IsFilterable="False" />
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Tipologia sconto" HeaderTextAlignment="Center" Width="120" IsFilterable="False">
            <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="radComboOperations"                                                                  
                                                              SelectionChanged="radComboOperations_SelectionChanged   Loaded="radComboOperations_Loaded"
                                                              DisplayMemberPath="Description" SelectedValuePath="Id"/>
                 </DataTemplate>
            </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
      </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
      <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Valore" HeaderTextAlignment="Center" Width="75" IsFilterable="False" IsSortable="False"
         <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <TextBox x:Name="textBoxValue" TextChanged="textBoxValue_TextChanged" Loaded="textBoxValue_Loaded"/>
            </DataTemplate>
       </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
     </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
   </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

So for every record displayed in the radGridView, "radComboOperations" is a radcombobox displayed in one cell template and "textBoxValue" is a textBox of the other cell template.

During the "_Loaded" operations of both controls I initialize properly the values must be displayed.
And there is no problem at all until now.

What do I have to do is to change Text or IsEnabled properties of "textBoxValue" of the corresponding Item ot the radGirdView, when a radComboOperations_SelectionChanged event of "radComboOperations" is raised.

The following is my function for the event

private void radComboOperations_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    RadComboBox comboBox = (RadComboBox)sender;
    if (comboBox!=null)
    {
        MyDTO dto = (MyDTO)comboBox.DataContext;
        MyOperation Operation = (MyOperation)comboBox.SelectedItem;
        if (Operation.Id == Guid.Empty)
        {
             //need help here where
            //I have to disable the textBoxValue of the corresponding item of the radGridView
            //where and how can I find the textBoxValue text box of the cell template??
        }
    }
}

I will thank a lot everyone may help me!!
Bye everybody

Hi Nick,

 You can use our powerful extension methods to achieve your goal. Here is an example how to get parent row:

var row = comboBox.ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();

And here is an example how to get textBoxValue TextBox from the row:

var textBoxValue = row.ChildrenOfType<TextBox>().Where(tb=>tb.Name == "textBoxValue").FirstOrDefault();

Both extension methods are part of Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace (you need to register this if you to work with these methods).
